考研英语推荐背诵的十篇精选文章之九.doc

1、Book Knowledge vs. Experience Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachers and practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gain from books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have no opportunity to experience in dail

2、y life. We can study all the places in the world and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by reading about them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how to view and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we can learn from the past

3、 by reading books. In this way, we wont repeat the mistakes of others and can build on their achievements. 来源:Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge. It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true, whether one is successfulornot. In fact

4、, I think making mistakes is the best way to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary to act. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation. Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of books to practical experience

5、, making an already meaningful experience more meaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledge remains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe that knowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquired from books. 参考译文: 书

6、本知识与实际经验获得知识的来源有很多,其中包括书本、老师,以及实际经验,而每一种都有其优点。从书本上及正规教育中所获得的知识使我们知道在日常生活中没有机会亲身去体验的事。通过读书,我们可以研究世界各地的资料,还可以向不曾谋面的人学习。我们也可以培养分析的技巧,并学习如何以不同的方式去观察并理解周围的世界。此外,我们可以通过读书,从历史中获取教训。如此一来,就不会再重复别人的错误,并且能够以他人的成就作为我们行动的基础。 另一方面,实际经验能够给我们更多有用的知识。大家都说从做中学的效果最好,我也认为的确如此,无论一个人成功与否。事实上,我认为犯错是最好的学习方式。此外,如果想要有新的进展,就必

7、须要付诸行动。想要创新,只靠阅读是不够的,必须要去实践。最后,我们可以将通过读书所获得的技巧和见解应用于实际经验中,使得原本有意义的经验变得更有意义。不过,除非我们能将书本知识运用于实际经验中,否则书本知识终究仍只是理论,毫无用处。那就是为什么我会认为从实际经验中获得的知识比从书本中所得到的知识更为重要。The Influence of Television and MoviesThere is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it

8、seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tapeora DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored. One obvious effect of the these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. t

9、elevision advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the worldora distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational p

10、rogram can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world possess great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally, perhaps the most susceptible viewers are children, who may b

11、e unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to imitate acts that they see on TVorin the movies. With the every-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experi

12、ence. 参考译文:电视和电影的影响电视和电影无疑会影响人们的行为举止。此外,人们似乎在花越来越多的时间去观看一些视觉娱乐节目,无论是电视、录像带,或是DVD。因此,视觉每体的影响是不容忽视的。这些每体所造成的最明显的影响是,人们在观看之后会被诱使去购买某些产品。现在电视广告非常普遍,即使是电影院,也允许播放广告。另外一个电视及电影会影响人们的方式是,它们能使人们对世界有更广阔的见解或是扭曲的看法,而这取决于人们所观看的是什么样的节目。凡是观看新闻性及教育性节目的人可以学习许多新事物,而主要观看娱乐节目的观众可能就会认为,世界上大多数的人都很有钱,而且长得都很好看,这可能会使他们对自己的生活

13、感到不满意。最后,儿童可能是最容易受影响的观众。他们可能无法分辨真实与虚构,而且可能会试着模仿在电视或电影中所看到的行为。由于视觉娱乐越来越普遍,所以社会大众必须注意其可能造成的影响。尽管电视及电影兼具娱乐性和知识性,但还是无法取代实际的经验The Media and Famous People In almost every form of media, including television, newspapers and magazines, a great deal of attention is paid to the personal lives of celebrities.

14、It seems that the public cannot get enough of this kind of news. However, I believe that the media have a responsibility to present a balanced view of the world, as well as respect the lives of public figures. Therefore, I believe that the media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous

15、 people. For people who are fascinated with the lives of public figures there are some forms of media devoted exclusively to this topic. They can satisfy their curiosity by buying fan magazines and watching TV shows devoted to entertainment news. The general media should present all types of informa

16、tion because people have different interests. Furthermore, the practice of dwelling on the private lives of celebrities can lead people to pay more attention to these matters than they otherwise would. Perhaps most importantly, the media should respect the privacy of every individual, including publ

17、ic figures. They may have chosen to be in the public eye, but that does not give the public the right to know everything about them. Moreover, many stories about celebrities are untrue; they are only gossip reported to increase sales of magazines and other media. They are unfair to the famous and mi

18、slead the public. For all of these reasons, I believe that the media should pay more attention to matters other than the private lives of public figures. In this way, they can appeal to a wider audience and encourage people to develop other interests. In my opinion, the media currently pay too much

19、attention to the private lives of public figures. 参考译文: 媒体与名人几乎每一种媒体,包括电视、报纸和杂志,都把许多焦点放在名人的私生活上。一般大众似乎对这种新闻一直很感兴趣。然而,我认为媒体有责任以公正无偏袒的观点报导时事,以及尊重公众人物的生活。因此,我认为媒体的确过度关注名人的私生活。 因为有些人对于公众人物的私生活十分着迷,所以有些媒体就专做这个主题。通过购买针对歌迷或影迷所发行的杂志和观看电视节目的娱乐新闻,就能满足这些歌迷和影迷的好奇心。一般媒体应该提供所有类型的资讯,因为人们的兴趣各不相同。此外,老是强调名人的私生活,会使人们比

20、平常更注意这些事情。或许最重要的是,媒体应该尊重个人的隐私,包括公众人物的隐私。他们可能选择公开露面或上传播媒体,但那并不表示大众有权知道他们的一切。此外,许多关于名人的报导并不真实;那些报导只不过是被用来增加杂志销售量以及其他媒体业绩的八卦传闻。那些不实的报导不仅对名人不公平,也会误导大众。 基于这些理由,我认为媒体应该多注意公众人物私生活以外的事情。如此一来,媒体就能吸引更广大的受众群,并且鼓励人们培养其他的兴趣。依我之见,目前的媒体的确过度关注公众人物及他们的私生活。 Living Longer In the past it was not uncommon for a man to d

21、ie at forty, having lived a full life. But now we consider a lifespan of forty years to be very short. It is not unusual for people to live into their eighties and nineties, and some even reach 100. Whats more, people are living long, healthy lives and are active well into their “golden years”.来源: M

22、ankinds longevity is due mainly to advances in science and technology. Medical breakthroughs have eradicated many fatal diseases that were once common. Perhaps more importantly, better general health means that people are less likely to contract infections in the first place. Better health also help

23、s people prevent slowly debilitating conditions, such as heart disease, which can take their lives at an early age. And as civilization has advanced, our living environment and sources of food have become more sanitary. Furthermore, work is now safer and not as taxing on the human body. We do not we

24、ar out after just a few years of very hard work. There are many reasons why people are now living longer than ever before. But what is more important is that they are living better as they live longer. It is my opinion that we have scientific and technological development to thank for this progress.

25、 参考译文: 活得更久以前的人活到40岁就过完一生而死亡是很平常的。但是现在,我们认为40岁的寿命很短。人们活到八十几岁、九十几岁,有些甚至到100岁,是很平常的。而且,人们还能活得久而且又健康,精力充沛地迈入他们的“黄金时代”(退休期)。 人类会长寿主要是因为科学及科技的进步。医学上的重大突破已经根除了以前十分普遍的致命疾病。而更重要的也许是,大众健康的改善首先意味着人们不大可能得传染病。人们变得更健康也有助于预防罹患一些会使身体状况日益衰弱的疾病,例如心脏病。这些疾病常会夺走年轻的生命。又因为文明的进步,我们的生活环境以及食物来源已经变得比较卫生。此外,现在的工作比较安全,且对人体而言没有

26、那么繁重。我们不会因为只辛苦工作几年就变得疲惫不堪。 现代人比以前长寿的原因有很多,但更重要的是,人们活得更久,而且也活得更好。我的看法是,我们的进步得益于科学和科技的发展。Human Activity and the Earth There is no doubt that human activity has an effect on the planet. We see the evidence of mankinds endeavors all around us. While some of mans accomplishments, such as the building of

27、transportation systems and the consistent supply of potable water, have made Earth a better place for people to live, they have not come without cost. Overall, it seems that human activity harms the Earth more than it benefits it. For example, the transportation systems that benefit mankind also cre

28、ate pollution and use up valuable energy resources. While we cannot do without transportation these days, we cannot ignore the fact that it has an adverse effect on the planet. Furthermore, those advances that benefit people do not benefit al the life on Earth. Deforestation endangers many animals,

29、and mankinds great thirst for water and other resources leads to the extinction of many plant forms. In addition, accomplishments such as the supply of potable water to a community are only response to problems that mankind created in the past. It was man that made the water unfit to drink in the fi

30、rst place. Finally, the damage that human activity causes will eventually have a negative effect on people. They will also suffer the effects of pollution and diminishing natural resources. In conclusion, it seems apparent that mans activity benefits primarily himself, not the Earth. Moreover, those

31、 benefits are only short-term advantages, and man will also suffer the negative effects of his activity in the future. The Earth does not have an inexhaustible supply of resources, so every effort should be made to conserve resources and limit the impact of human activity on the planet. 参考译文: 人类活动与地

32、球人类活动无疑会对地球造成影响。我们周围随处可见人类活动的迹象。虽然人类某些成就,如运输系统的建立以及饮用水持续的供应等,使得地球成为一个更适合的人类居住的地方,但这些成就的取得也付出了代价。总体上,对地球而言,人类的活动似乎弊多于利。 例如,运输系统对人类有利,却会制造污染,并用尽珍贵的能源。现在我们虽然不能没有运输工具,却也不能忽视运输工具对地球有不良影响的事实。此外,使人类获益的这些进步不一定能使地球上所有生物都获益。砍伐森林危及许多动物,而人类对水和其他资源的需求极大,因而导致许多植物绝种。再者,像供应社区饮水的这类成就,就只是人类在为过去所制造的问题做出回应而已。是人类自己首先使水变

33、得不适合饮用的。最后,人类活动所导致的损害终究会对人类本身产生负面的影响。污染及日益减少的天然资源所造成的影响也会使人类受害。 总之,人类的活动显然主要仅对人类自己有利,但却对地球不利。而且,那些益处是短暂的,将来人类还是会因自己的行为所造成的负面影响而受害。地球上的资源并不是取之不尽、用之不竭的,所以我们应该尽全力保存资源,限制人类活动对地球的冲击。The Advantages of Saving Money Everyone must work to live, but many people are fortunate enough to make more money than the

34、y immediately need. What should they do with this extra income? While it is tempting for people to spend it all on things they desire, I believe it is better to save at least a portion of the extra income for the future. By saving money, people give themselves more security. They cannot predict the

35、future; perhaps one day they will be jobless. At a time like this their savings can spare them a great deal of suffering and help to see them through the hard time. In addition, saving money allows people to build up a larger sum. They can then buy something more worthwhile than the small things the

36、y can but if they spend the money right away. For example, they may be able to buy a house with their savings. Finally, he practice of saving helps people develop the habit of setting goals and planning for their future. In this way they are bound to lead more meaningful and successful lives. Most p

37、eople would like to enjoy their money immediately. Nobody likes to wait for the things that he wants. However, if we learn to save our money, we can gain more advantages in the future. We will lead more secure and, thus, happier lives. We will also be able to buy the things we truly want but cannot

38、afford right now.参考译文: 存钱的好处每个人都必须工作以求生存,但是有许多人很幸运,能够赚得比他们立即需要的还要多的钱。他们应该如何处理这些额外的收入呢?尽管把钱全花在自己想买的东西上是很诱人的,但我认为最好至少把一部分的额外收入存起来,以备将来之需。 通过存钱,人们能获得更多的安全感。未来是无法预测的,或许有一天我们会失业。碰到像这样的情况,存款可以让我们免去许多痛苦,帮助我们渡过难关。此外,存钱可以使人积累较多的钱,可以用于买更有价值的东西,比马上把钱花掉所能买到的东西更有用。例如,我们可以用存款买房子。最后,存钱能帮助我们培养设定目标及为未来作计划的习惯。如此一来,我们

39、一定会过着更有意义并且更成功的生活。大部分的人会想要马上享用手边的钱。没有人想等到以后再买想要的东西。然而,如果我们学会存钱,未来可以获得更多的好处。我们将过着更有安全感而且更快乐的生活。我们也能购买我们真正想要但现在无法负担的东西。Never, Never Give Up We often hear people say, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in them will keep trying to reach his

40、goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up. One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first a

41、ttempt at something new, so we should not feel discouraged and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow as people. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we

42、 do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities. In short

43、, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the endornot, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better, more confident people. Furthermore, if we give up, we have non chance of attaining our goals, but if we keep trying, ther

44、e is always a chance that we will succeed one day. 参考译文: 永不放弃我们常听到人们说:“永远不要放弃。”这句话可能是要鼓励别人,也可能是表示自己的决心。相信自己的人,不管经历多少次失败,都会不断试着要达到目标。我认为,有成功的决心是每个人都应该有的重要特质。因此,我认为我们应该永不放弃。 其中一个理由是,如果我们太轻易放弃,就几乎无法完成任何事。我们第一次尝试新事物会失败,这是很平常的事,所以我们不应感到气馁,而应该要再试一次。而且,如果我们总是一失败就放弃,就无法培养新技能并且不断地成长。我们应该永不放弃的另一个原因是,只有再努力一次才能

45、从错误中学习。如果我们不再试一次,那么我们所学到的教训就白白浪费了。最后,我们应该永不放弃,因为当我们努力达到目标的时候,我们就会培养出自信,而这种自信将有助于我们在生活的其他领域中获得成功。如果我们不挑战自我,我们就会开始怀疑自己的能力。简言之,当我们努力追求目标时,永不放弃是很重要的。不管最后有没有成功,我们都会学到一些东西,而我们所学到的东西,将会使自己成为一个更好、更有自信的人。而且,如果放弃的话,我们就没有机会达到目标。但是如果能不断地尝试,总有一天我们一定会有机会成功的。 Saving Land for Endangered Animals There is only so muc

46、h land on the earth, and so what we can do with it is limited. Some people believe that human needs for farmland, housing and industry should come first, while others believe that some land should be set aside for endangered animals. I am of the opinion that we should reserve some land for the world

47、s animals for the following reasons. First, mankinds need for land is constantly growing. If the demand is not checked in some way, humans will eventually develop all of the earths available land. At that time, mankind will have no more room to grow, and all the wild animals will have disappeared, a

48、s well as other valuable resources. Second, humans are able to innovate and can use the land that they already possess in more efficient ways. Animals are unable to do this. Once their land is taken away from them they will die. Third and last, endangered animals are an important part of the biodive

49、rsity of our planet. If they disappear, we cannot predict what the effect will be. Therefore, we should treat such animals as a valuable resource to be protected. To sum up, the worlds endangered animals are an important resource and we should protect them by setting aside some land for them. Although mankinds need for land continues to grow, peo
